I love graffiti. There’s just something so rebellious and beautiful about it. I recently came across this door downtown and just thought it was really cool. New York is a dirty, grungy city but this is the kind of beauty that you can randomly find on the street sometimes.
Have a great day and don’t forget to check out some of my new paintings here.

This summer has been all about soaking up the sun rays and ros wine. We still have some time before Fall to enjoy the weather.
I love when the art and fashion collide, especially on a dress. I recently wore this Milly dress to an AKA luncheon and everybody was in love. It’s perfect for that kind of affair, brunch, lunch, or business with a nice blazer. Check out more summer dresses here.

As the weather starts to turn to winter, I am reminiscent of this past summer. And I am already looking forward to Spring 2016.
After having finished FIT, I’ve been on the grind working on some special projects including new artwork and fashion sketches. Art has been my therapy for years. I can get lost with a brush and some color.
Speaking of artwork, we’ve got some great prints that would make fabulous holiday gifts. We can also take your favorite print and make pillows, coffee mugs and other items. Head over to the artwork shop and inquire within for more info!

So I was in Brooklyn this past weekend and just fell in love with beautiful street art. I felt like breaking out a can and carving out some wall space myself (my art). Too bad it’s still illegal. I have a feeling though that it doesn’t really matter in Bushwick. Anyway, enjoy!

These three Chanel bags are giving me life! Make fashion, not war. Checkout the trunkshow here.
So, Dolce & Gabbana dedicated their show to mothers during Milan Fashion Week. They also featured a dress with children’s drawings and the most gorgeous headphones you’ve ever seen. These headphones are fit for a Queen!

Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you’re enjoying the day so far. Here’s a cooky sketch of a heart. It’s meant to represent an intense and undying love.
Have a great night and to see more of my artwork (and there is more coming), click here.

Remember my Madd Hatter post last year? I had so much fun playing with hats at Ellen Christine’s showroom, I just had to check out the ArtsWestchester HATtitude Exhibit grand opening last weekend. The show was amazing and if you like hats or think you might want to experiment with hats, you absolutely must check it out!
The show is going on until April 12th. Get inspired!

Grunge. Graffiti. The 1990s. and Chanel? Really. Yes, Chanel has again jumped on the graffiti bandwagon for Spring 2014. It’s an interesting play on colors but for $3400? Label whores who do anything for a label might easily fork over the money for this but I would say if you really want a backpack like this, do it yourself. Make a fun art project out of this at home.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying the creativity, colors and grunginess of it all but I just can’t get with the pricepoint. After seeing those Chanel boots from the F/W 2013 show, I am just not enthralled with the graffiti backpack. Are we wearing backpacks these days anymore anyway?

So this week Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian a George Condo hand-painted Hermes Birkin bag for Christmas and Kim showed it off on a shopping trip. Condo did the artwork for my favorite Kanye album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. June Ambrose photoshopped a photo of her with a George Condo painted Birkin on Instagram to generate chatter. Needless to say the art world has officially infiltrated fashion. And, well, although I like the provocative artwork on Kanye’s album cover, I can’t say the same about the Birkins. It just doesn’t do it for me. What do you think?
